The Producer

Bodegas Navajas is a family run winery situated in the village of Navarrete, in the heart of the Rioja region. The bodega was founded in 1918 but it wasn’t until 1983 when the Navajas family finally took complete control of the winery which has seen a dramatic improvement in quality ever since. The Bodega is run by Antonio Navajas and his wife, Rosa Maria Gandarias. Their son, Roberto, is responsible for production and quality control and their daughter, Mercedes, is in charge of exports.

Tom Cannavan Reviews

Don't just take our word for it; here's what wine writer Tom Cannavan has to say:

"A Reserve, so a minimum of two years ageing is required, at least one of which has to be in barrels, but this eight-year-old example wears the velvet and ermine robes of a wine that’s been given a luxuriously extended time, deep with coffee and chocolate, lush with ripe tobacco-tinged autumnal berries. There’s masses of spice, coconut and vanilla from its toasty French and American barrels, in some ways a good old-fashioned Rioja style, but with plenty of ripe fruit too. Nice to have a mature, plush and big-hearted red like this to turn to"

The Region

The Rioja region is in north eastern of Spain, located south of the Cantabrian Mountains, which help to isolate the region from the fierce winds and maritime influences. Most of Rioja’s wines are red made predominantly from the Tempranillo grape. The region has three districts: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Baja. Rioja Alta is Rioja’s fullest in terms of fruit and concentration with lovely velvety smooth tastes. Reds are made predominantly from Tempranillo and Garnacha with Graciano and Carinena playing bit parts. More Riojan wines

Excellent Wine

Venison Stew with Sage-infused Carrots

Rich, earthy flavours call for rich, earthy wines. Thankfully most countries offer a red that fits this category, and an aged Rioja fits the bills perfectly with its notes of sweet and savoury spice with dark, dried fruit flavours. We really like a Reserva Rioja with this dish. Full recipe

Roast Lamb with Herb Butter

Lamb is a classic match for Tempranillo, with the smooth tannins and sweet flavours of the wine perfectly matching this simple, easy roast. Try our Rioja Reserva from Villa del Camino. Full recipe

Mushroom Risotto and Caramelised Onions

The wholesome, rich and earthy flavours of mushroom risotto pair perfectly aged and oaked reds. As this risotto is baked it gives you the perfect opportunity to crack open a bottle of your favourite Rude Rioja and let it breathe before serving. Full recipe
